Kerry Blackshear netted 15 points, 8 rebounds and hit the go-ahead basket in the final minute Saturday, leading Evans to a 60-54 victory over Haines City in the Metro Orlando vs. Polk County Shootout boys basketball tournament at Boone.

Benly Olizia scored 12 points and Courtney Williamson had 9 for the Trojans (12-4), No.3 in the Sentinel Super 16. Haines City fell to 6-7.

"It wasn't one of our better games," said Evans coach Chucky Atkins. "I mean, we did some good stuff, but we need to continue to improve. We're a long way away from where we were last year."

Evans was the Class 7A state runner-up last year.

Blackshear scored two points, drew a foul and hit the free throw to put the Trojans up 56-54 with a minute on the clock.

After forcing a turnover, they scored again on a Williamson dunk. Then Blackshear hit two more free throws to seal the win.

"I like the fight Haines City had," Atkins said. "I think a lot of times, when you have talent you think you're just going to walk out there on the basketball court and win games. You have to realize the other team comes out to win too."

Metro Orlando schools dominated the event, winning all five match ups against Polk County teams.

Four players scored in double digits Saturday for Wekiva (13-3) in a 72-53 win over Lake Wales (8-8).

Ruben Monroe led the Mustangs with 18 points, followed by Willie Carmichael with 15, Malcolm Stevenson with 14 and Nathan Powell, who had 12.

"This is the best game we probably ever played as a team," said Carmichael, who had a team-high 12 rebounds.

The score was tied at 12 after the first quarter, but a three-basket run by Stevenson in the second shifted momentum and the Mustangs took off running, entering the final quarter up 50-39.

"In the third quarter we opened the lead up and Lake Wales made the decision to be very physical and very aggressive," said Wekiva coach Scott Williams. "We matched that by being smarter, a little bit tougher and played a really smart fourth quarter."
